Why it might work

Light over deepKagiroi brings aromatic and citrus; L de brings woody. Lighter over deeper is the usual way to layer.
Notes in commonBoth list patchouli and ylang-ylang, so the two have a shared base to meet on.
A shared threadAromatic, woody, citrus and fresh spicy run through both.
Evenly matchedPerformance votes are close: Kagiroi is moderate on both, L de long lasting and moderate, so neither should bury the other.
